The Center for Ocean Solutions is a scientific partner of the Seafood Business for Ocean Stewardship (SeaBOS) collaboration.
The SeaBOS collaboration brings together scientists and some of the world's largest seafood companies to generate sector-wide momentum for adopting evidence-informed practices that result in more sustainable and responsible supply chains and greater ocean stewardship. The collaboration is based on a set of commitments by member companies to address illegal fishing and eliminate modern slavery at sea, minimize the impacts of seafood production on endangered species, reduce the use of antibiotics in aquaculture, adapt to and mitigate climate change impacts, and reduce ocean plastics.
Scientific research is intended to inform how companies can realize these commitments.
